I have been a big resident evil fan for over 20 years used to play the games all the time got this movie to complete the series not the best of the series but a good movie hopefully will make more resident evil moves really like them i would say 4🌟 for this movie.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This movies isn't too bad. It has a story line that follows the previous films, and the acting is on par with the others as well. It's a must for anyone wanting to complete their 6 film collection of Resident Evil. When doing that you'll have to buy the 2 films that follow, and then you'll know why I said that it wasn't the worst in the series.

Wishing & hoping for a sci-fi thrill, I was surprisingly shocked that this film was actually just a string of discombobulated scenes that didn't seem to have much direction. Someone said it best when they described the film as "Battlefield Earth" marries "The Matrix" and then has an affair with "Ultra Violet" & after a bit of philandering around, the end result is the bastard child we now can call Resident Evil:Afterlife. How on "God's green earth" did Paul Anderson talk Milla Jovovich into playing another one of these roles is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I think she's the hottest thing ever to hit the big screen, but this RE kills any other chance. Paul seems to have a disconnect with reality and short and long term memory loss when it comes to the direction of this film. There seems to be absolutely no continuity to the story-line & really doesn't explain anything more about the evil beguiled Umbrella corporation. We have to consider that the only reason we get hooked up in Los Angeles is to get back into the underground facility & see those sorry souls get slowly taken out by zombies. I only wonder what it would have been like to see the 3D version of this in theaters because of the special effect overuse of Deus-ex-machina were a bit engaging at times, but fails to carry the film anywhere but back down on the cutting room floor. The use of flashbacks made a effect, but didn't add a bit to the continuity of the storyline. There were scenes that almost made me want to hurl because of the ridiculous stupidity of it. The one that comes to mind is when the heroines are shooting the bad guy with their guns over and over and over. What's up with that? That's a wee bit too boring to be entertaining somehow. We've supposedly got zombie monsters crawling all around so why would anyone spend that much time shooting up a dead zombie? What's even less believable is the never ending supply of ammunition that comes out of those handguns. No one seems to be worried about eating either. Also if it's been 5 years after the end of civilization, then why is the Hollywood sign still burning. The beauties starring in Afterlife are all well groomed and have extremely good hygiene. You would think that all the characters had been through the wars covered in mud and guts. Obviously between takes, the stars get a manicure and pedicure and makeup touch up with hair almost falling naturally right out of a Paul Mitchell commercial. Would or should only a few survivors have designer trimmed beards, haircuts, clothes in perfect pressed and dry cleaned condition? Amazingly the small aircraft seems to have an endless supply of fuel. As far as Arcadia, the supposedly save house ship, where in the world are they hiding the somewhat more that 15000 souls? Certainly not on the deck of the ship? What seems to me to be the most preposterous thing of all is the comical creature with the large hammer knocking down a metal door. You mustn't miss this.Read full review
Didn't care for the 3rd Resident Evil in the series, too much Road Warrior spin off for my taste. Didn't like any of the Road Warrior series except the first Road warrior film. Resident Evil 1 and 2 were more of an orignal take on the ZOMBIE movies and I thouroughly enjoyed those. The 4th in the series returns, somewhat, to the original formula. Of course not as great as the first 2 but still entertaining with good special effects and a nice plot twist. Action sequences keep the energy going for the storyline. I'm a fan of the Resident Evil series and I don't mind the implementation of action sequences resembling the Matrix. I liked that movie and I also like this one. Check it out, it's worth watching.
If you didn't see this in theaters I would HIGHLY recommend renting the movie before buying! We missed it in theaters but liked the others so much we just bought this one. BIG MISTAKE! This movie had good graphics and maybe 2 new cool characters. Wexler is in it as promised but he isn't on screen for more than 5 minutes total. There aren't really any awesome extras or bonus materials on the DVD. If you haven't seen it and generally skip the credits, I will say you should watch them or at least skip through for a final scene! If you don't see this scene the next film might not make any sense. We watched the end credits for about a minute and noticed someone credited that wasn't in the film. We went to IMDB.com and looked it up and as it turns out the character was in that scene at the conclusion of the end credits. The movie was average, at best. I personally think the first 2 were the best and this one is by far the worst. I don't know how but I hope the next film will finally deliver where this one failed!Read full review
